Across the Universe
Who's in it: Jim Sturgess, Evan Rachel Wood, Joe Anderson, Dana Fuchs, Martin Luther, T.V. Carpio
What's it about: Jude(Sturgess) comes to America from England in search for a better life. He meets Max(Anderson) at a college and comes with him home for Thanksgiving. Here he meets Lucy(Wood) and falls in love. Max and Jude move to New York City and meet Sadie(Fuchs), who is on her way to stardom. Jo-Jo(Luther) becomes her new guitarist and Prudence(Carpio) climbs through the window into their huge apartment. When Lucy gets into a hippie newspaper group, Jude tries his best to save her. He, however, gets deported.
What I Think: I love the Beatles and I loves the acting in this movie. It was great to watch such an innocent love grow. The way the songs played into the movie was very imaginative and interesting. Sturgess played his character very well. This movie kind of reminded me of 'The Wall' from Pink Floyd, but this was way better.
